The
fingerprints of America’s enemies and adversaries are all over the
disclosures about the NSA’s terrorist surveillance program. It is
significant that NSA contract employee Edward Snowden would flee to Hong
Kong—controlled by China—and that he would select Glenn Greenwald,
a far-left columnist, as his mouthpiece.

Greenwald,
an open homosexual now living with his “husband” in Brazil,
came to our attention in 2009 when he proudly received an award named
after I.F. Stone, a leftist journalist exposed as a Soviet agent.

After
first giving Greenwald and his then-secret source tons of favorable publicity
and softball coverage, the media seem to be having second thoughts, with
CNN asking about Snowden, “Is
this guy a hero or a traitor?” Rep. Peter King, chairman of
the House Homeland Security Committee’s Subcommittee on Counterterrorism
and Intelligence, told the channel that Snowden is “a defector”
from the U.S.

Former
CIA officer Robert Baer told CNN that Edward Snowden may be a Chinese
agent under the control of the Chinese regime. Referring to the fact that
Snowden has fled to Hong Kong, Baer
said the region is “controlled by Chinese intelligence”
and that “I’ve talked to a bunch of people in Washington today
in official positions and they are looking at this as a potential Chinese
espionage case.”

Glenn
Greenwald, the Guardian columnist who used Snowden as his source, is no
fan of the United States. He specializes in articles protesting tough
treatment of terrorists bent on destroying the U.S. and Israel. In an
exchange
with Bill Maher, a fellow left-winger, Greenwald even disputed the view
that Islam is uniquely violent and threatening.

An American
by birth, he currently works for a foreign publication, the Guardian,
and has
a “lover” in Brazil he calls his “husband.”
He apparently doesn’t live in the U.S. because of its alleged oppressive
treatment of homosexuals.

He praises
Bradley Manning, the Army analyst now on trial for espionage and aiding
the enemy, and wrote
a column questioning why Manning wasn’t selected as a Grand
Marshall in a “gay pride” parade. He said Manning “boldly
and courageously opposes the US war machine” and should not have
been “demonized and scorned” by the homosexuals running the
event.

In an
article, “Glenn Greenwald: Same as Bradley Manning?,” the
homosexual publication Out reported,
“As we know, the U.S. government will not recognize same-sex relationships,
a law that led Greenwald abroad and, by a stroke of perverse luck, outside
the government’s reach.”

It reported,
“Greenwald is a fan of Julian Assange, the embattled founder of
WikiLeaks, and Bradley Manning, the 23-year-old army intelligence analyst
who last year sent thousands of classified Iraq war documents to WikiLeaks.”

Assange
is in hiding in London, after taking a job working for the Russian government
at Russia Today television. Like Manning, he could be prosecuted by the
U.S. for espionage if he were ever turned over to the U.S.

Significantly,
Out said that “Greenwald believes Manning might have been less likely
to reveal government secrets if he were straight: Gay people, because
they’re already ‘outside the sphere of comfort,’ have
a ‘huge advantage in being willing to challenge authority,’
he says, speaking from experience.”

Greenwald
tends to blame the U.S. for Muslim violence against the U.S. Referencing
the Boston massacre carried out by two Islamists, Greenwald
said: “It’s certainly true that Islam plays an important
role in making these individuals willing to fight and die for this perceived
just cause (just as Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and nationalism lead
some people to be willing to fight and die for their cause). But the proximate
cause of these attacks are plainly political grievances: namely, the belief
that engaging in violence against aggressive western nations is the only
way to deter and/or avenge western violence that kills Muslim civilians.”

Regarding
Iran, he
has said there is “nothing that even remotely justifies attacking”
Iran militarily, and that sanctions against the regime are spreading “mass
human suffering” and cannot be justified.

Considering
these statements, it is shocking that some conservatives would welcome
Greenwald as a truth-teller who has somehow embarrassed the Obama Administration.
The program began under President Bush and has been approved by congressional
intelligence committees.

At the
time of his acceptance of the “Izzy” award, named after I.F.
Stone, I had asked Glenn Greenwald, then with Salon.com, what he would
say of an article in Commentary magazine about evidence linking Stone
to Soviet intelligence.

noted, “Rather than disavow the award, after he was informed
about Stone’s service to the Soviet Union, Greenwald attacked AIM
and Commentary magazine, which had also published evidence of Stone’s
work on behalf of the communist dictatorship.”

In fact,
Greenwald called this writer “the truly deranged, sex-obsessed,
conspiracy-monger Cliff Kincaid,” and said my criticism would prompt
him to place his “Izzy” award “on an even more prominent
shelf” in his office.

The
term “sex-obsessed,” when used against this columnist, was
apparently a reference to opposition to giving special rights to practitioners
of the homosexual lifestyle, such as Glenn Greenwald and Bradley Manning.
